Chapter 1174 Start Planning
Never leaving the city——
As soon as Luo Li returned to Buli City, Shi Heng and others came to greet her.
Shi Heng asked anxiously, "Ali, there was a strange phenomenon happening in the Continent of Gods not long ago. Could it be related to Locking God Mountain?"
Luo Li nodded, her fingertips brushing against the remnant of the demon god's seal in her sleeve, the cool touch bringing a slight tremor: "Senior Xie Qingci used his spirit as a guide to set up a three-year demon sealing formation."
She looked at the silver light that had not yet dissipated in the sky, "But the Demon God Temple will not give up. We must speed up our preparations."
Shi Heng and the others were stunned by this news. "Sealing the Demon? The Demon God Temple won't appear in the next three years?"
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "That's right."
Shi Heng's eyes flashed with surprise, then he frowned: "But three years later..."
"There will be solutions three years from now." Luo Li interrupted him, turned around and walked into the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion, took out a yellowed map and spread it on the table.
The map was densely marked with the strongholds of various forces on the continent, and several blank areas were circled heavily with cinnabar.
Xiaoliu came over, almost putting his head on the map: "Ari, this is..."
"The forbidden areas of the major forces, which have never been explored," Luo Li pointed her finger at the scarlet circle in the northwest corner of the map. "The legendary Falling Sky Valley, where the remains of ancient alchemists lie dormant, and the Soul Abyss, where one can refine the soul, are now open to the disciples of the major forces."
Lan Qingqing gasped, "Those places are dangerous places that even the great lords dare not set foot in easily!"
"That's not the problem," Luo Li raised her hand. "First, help me spread the word. Have the leaders of the major forces of the gods come to the city and tell them that I have something to tell them."
Three days later, there was a huge flow of traffic in front of the City Lord's Mansion, and leaders of various forces on the continent gathered together.
In the meeting room.
The leader of the Wanyu Thunder Sect said, "The leader suddenly told us to stay in the city and said that we must send the leader. But what happened?"
Luo Li tapped the tabletop with her fingertips. The cinnabar red circle on the map glowed strangely in the candlelight. "Everyone, I want to open the forbidden area of the Continent of the Gods."
Before he finished speaking, the room suddenly exploded.
The head of the Tianji Pavilion suddenly stood up, the jade pendant on his waist clashing with a crisp sound. "Does Alliance Leader Luo know what I am talking about? The miasma of Luotian Valley can corrode the soul, and there are even Saint-level monsters in the depths of the Soul Abyss. Even a Saint-level expert who enters there may not be able to escape unscathed!"
"That's why it's a great place to hone your skills." Luo Li's eyes were firm.
"But..." The Holy Lord of Yaochi Holy Land hesitated, "The Demon God Palace is currently active. Suddenly opening these forbidden areas might provoke the Demon God Palace to take action."
"Don't worry about this," Luo Li raised her eyes and said slowly, "For three years, the Demon God Temple will not make any more moves."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, "What does the leader mean by this?"
Luo Li explained in detail again how Xie Qingci used his soul to set up a three-year demon-sealing formation. After everyone heard it, their expressions varied.
Some people looked surprised, while others still had doubts.
"So these three years are a perfect opportunity for us to improve our strength." Luo Li glanced at everyone, "Opening the forbidden area is to allow the younger generation to grow rapidly in times of crisis. I will set up a barrier around the forbidden area to ensure safety."
"But how should the treasures in those forbidden areas be distributed?" The Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively.
"All disciples who enter the forbidden area will keep all their gains. However, if they encounter an ancient god's inheritance, they must report it to the Alliance of Gods, and the Alliance will discuss and deal with it together."
Luo Li took out a set of rules that had been drawn up long ago, "This is the detailed distribution plan, you can take a look."
The rules were passed around and the hall fell into a brief silence.
After a moment, Dean Xuan Xiao spoke first: "Alliance Leader Luo has given it careful consideration. Jiuding Academy supports the opening of the forbidden area."
Led by Xuan Xiao, some people began to express their agreement, but a few people remained silent.
"Everyone, the Demon God Palace is now the common enemy of the Continent of Gods." Luo Li stood up. "Only if we unite and improve our strength will we be able to fight in three years. If we continue to scheme against each other for petty gains, we will sooner or later be defeated by the Demon God Palace one by one! Besides, the Alliance of Gods has been established. Have you forgotten your oath?"
Her words were like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart. The silent few looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement.
"Alright! Since everyone agrees, then it's settled. Ten days from now, the forbidden area will be officially opened."
Luo Li said, "Also, I have refined a batch of Saint Lord Pills and Nirvana Pills, which will be distributed to the spiritual masters at the peak of the Grand Lord level in the major factions. However, before taking the pills, you must sign a Soul Oath to ensure that no trouble will occur within the alliance within three years."
Everyone was shocked again by the news about the Saint King Pill, and there was a bit more awe in their eyes when they looked at Luo Li.
After everyone dispersed, Luo Li rubbed his brows tiredly.
Shi Heng stepped forward and handed her a cup of hot tea. "Ari, your decision is too risky. What if something happens in the forbidden area, or someone breaks the oath..."
"I know there are risks, but this is the path we must take." Luo Li looked out the window at the night. "Master, please make the arrangements. I'm going to retreat for a few days and refine some more pills. In these three years, every pill could be the key to turning the tide of the battle."
On the seventh day of seclusion, thunderclouds suddenly gathered over Buli City.
Shi Heng and others stood outside the alchemy room, watching the purple lightning strike like a silver snake, exploding with dazzling electric light on the barrier.
Lan Xiaoxiao clutched the corner of her clothes, her voice trembling: "This pill thunder is too terrifying, will Ah Li be okay?"
"Since the leader dares to refine the Saint King Pill, he has the confidence to break the deadlock." Xuan Xiao leaned on the jade staff, but his eyes were always fixed on the direction of the alchemy room.
The Saint King Pill in his hand had begun to grow slightly hot, as if responding to the unusual movements in the pill room.
With a loud bang, the stone door of the alchemy room exploded.
"Oh my god, this Dan Lei is too dark, it's hitting me in the face!"
Luo Li's hair was disheveled and there was blood on the corner of her lips, but she walked out slowly with the jade bottle.
The pills in the bottle were emitting golden and red light, and each one contained the power to destroy the world.
"One is enough to help a peak Great Lord break through to the Saint Lord realm. The rest..." She paused, handed the jade bottle and a space ring to Shi Heng, "distribute them among the disciples with the greatest potential."
As soon as Shi Heng took the jade bottle, a powerful elixir power rushed into his spiritual veins along his fingertips.
He suppressed the spiritual energy surging in his body and looked at Luo Li worriedly: "How are your injuries? This pill thunder seems to be more fierce than expected."
Luo Li raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, the Chaos Soul Fire pulsating in her palm: "It's okay, it's just that the Dan Lei struck my spirit vein at the beginning."
She pointed to the slightly warm Chaos Jade at her waist, "But this is also a blessing in disguise. My control over the origin of Chaos has taken a step forward."
She looked outside the alchemy room and asked, "No one has left yet, right?"
Shi Heng shook his head. "I'm still waiting in the City Lord's Mansion, just waiting for you to finish refining the pill and come out."
Luo Li chuckled, tucked a few messy strands of hair behind her ears, and said calmly, "That's perfect. Let them all gather in the meeting room. I have new arrangements."
The lights in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion were bright.
Representatives from various factions gathered together, their eyes all cast on Luo Li who walked in slowly.
Although she looked a little tired, she exuded an increasingly powerful aura, as if silently declaring her strength.
"Everyone," Luo Li said, her voice steady and powerful as she glanced at the crowd. "The forbidden areas are about to open. I plan to set up trial grounds at the entrances of each area. All disciples entering the forbidden areas must first pass the trials to see if they have enough strength to deal with the dangers within."
"Alliance Master Luo, how are the assessment standards for this trial field determined?" the elder from the Northern Territory asked with a frown. "If the standards are too high and delay the disciples' progress in cultivation, it would be more trouble than it's worth."
"I have my own assessment criteria." Luo Li raised her hand, and a beam of light appeared in mid-air, revealing several lifelike puppets. "These puppets range in strength from one-star lord to peak-level grand lord. Disciples can choose challenges based on their own cultivation. Successfully passing the puppet test of the corresponding level will allow them to enter the forbidden area of the corresponding difficulty level."
Everyone stared at the floating puppet with surprise in their eyes.
The runes flowing on the puppet exude a mysterious aura, and it is obvious at first glance that it is no ordinary thing.
"Furthermore," Luo Li continued, "disciples who pass the trial will not only be eligible to enter the forbidden area, but will also receive a 'Trial Medal'. Accumulating a certain number of medals can be exchanged in the Gods Alliance for rare materials, soul skill manuals, and even spiritual weapons and elixirs that I personally refined."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion in the hall.
In today's Continent of Gods, being able to obtain the elixir refined by Luo Li is a huge temptation for any spiritual master.
"Alliance Master Luo, when will this trial field be established?" Dean Xuan Xiao asked with a blazing gaze. "All the disciples of my Jiuding Academy can't wait to give it a try."
"In three days, the trial grounds at the entrances of all the forbidden areas will open simultaneously." Luo Li looked at everyone. "In addition, I plan to establish an 'Alliance Academy' in Buli City, inviting powerful individuals from all walks of life to serve as instructors and share their cultivation experiences and soul skills. Regardless of their origins, as long as they are disciples of the Alliance of Gods, they can come and study."
"Sharing secret techniques?" The Tianwu Temple's master looked alert. "Alliance Master Luo, some factions' secret techniques are the core of their inheritance. How can we show them to others so easily?"
"Don't worry." Luo Li's lips curled up into a smile. "The Alliance Academy will have different learning areas, so core secret techniques won't be forced. But I believe that through communication and complementarity, the cultivation systems of each faction can be improved. Moreover, the Demon God Temple is eyeing us covetously. Only by pooling everyone's wisdom can we find a way to fight them."
Everyone fell into deep thought. What Luo Li said made sense.
In the face of an absolute threat, working in isolation will only widen the gap between them and the Demon God Temple.
"I agree to establish an alliance academy!" Dean Xuan Xiao was the first to speak out. "My Jiuding Academy is willing to send several elders to serve as instructors and teach them everything they know."
With Xuan Xiao taking the lead, other forces also responded.
